In the time since the Montreal Expos moved to Washington D.C. and started calling themselves “Nationals,” until this season they hadn’t done much to warrant a new nickname. Namely, the D.C. Expos finished below .500 in every single season.
Last night, Transplanted-Ex Met Davey Johnson’s Nationals clinched first place of the National East for 2012.
Congratulations to the team, their fans, and all Walgreens employees across the nation.
